Is it that he'd be reunited with his missing father? No, it's about his hair. He survived a brain tumor, endured chemotherapy, and now wants nothing more than to stop being bald as an egg. He simply yearns for the return of the first fuzz. Seemingly a vain yearning, true, but just talk to any juvenile who's had a bout with cancer and see what they really want out of life. Oliver is thrown in a new world, as discovering his psychic talents. The blossoming of a simpatico friendship with the older but fragile Aura teaches him about coping with illness in life. A love interest in mysterious Justine. The continuing companionship of his indefatigable cat Flop. Review by Charlie Dickinson
